Hi,

In 2020, The IRS waived the 10% penalty on IRA hardship withdrawal and allow tax to be deferred for 3 years. Pro-connect still calculate the penalty and bring it over to the 1040. 

I would need help to override it. 

thanks!

It is not for a "hardship" withdrawal, it is for a qualified COVID related distribution.

Form 5329 is to waive the penalty and Form 8915-E to spread it out over 3 years.  But 8915-E is probably not ready yet, so you will need to wait a couple of weeks.
